Fusion's families hail from Kenilworth, Cranford, Westfield, Roselle, Scotch Plains, Springfield, Roselle Park, Elizabeth, Union, Rahway, Garwood, Mountainside, and even as far away as Newark, Directors Sharon Rauber and Jarrod Harden have taken careful account of programs and services that will help serve their clientele better. And there are plen- ty of surprises in store for new and returning students this fall. "After two years of continued growth, what better way to start off our third season than with a third dance studio?" says Harden. "The music store that shares our space is relo- cating, leaving us over 1,200 square feet to transform into a state-of-the-art danco studio." "In fact," adds Rauber, "the other studios will be receiving a makeover as well! Professional flooring, new paint, new sound systems, and over 3,000 square feet of total dance space will greet dancers this September." The new dance room opens the door to new programs, as well as expansions of existing programs. Fusion Dance Centre now offers an acrobatics program, which will combine dance with tumbling, strengthening, and stretching. The The dancers from the Cindy Smith Dance Studio in Qarwood are getting ready for another fun and exciting year. For a list classes are offered on Wednesday evenings for ages 8 and up, of classes beginning in September, visit the studio's Web site, www.cindySnuthDancestudio.ccrc. with an introductory level called "Tumble Kids" for ages 5 to 7 throughout the week.
